My love and enthusiasm for design began at a very young age, but I didn’t fully embrace it until several years after moving to NYC. Renting tiny New York apartments never stopped me from creating the home I wanted. I would apply fresh coats of paint, swap out hardware, install new light fixtures, and create smarter storage, which made my roommates happy, and my landlords even happier. When friends and neighbors caught sight of what I had made possible, my freelance design business was born. From there, I began a career in hospitality design, where I worked for one of the best restaurant groups in the city. After two years, I was promoted to Director of Design, where I worked closely with senior management and led all design initiatives. Making the transition to residential design has been a dream come true!
